Was high bidder and watching the time tick down on one of my most wanted white whales...got outbid in the last 45 seconds..."increase bid" bar disappeared and no "outbid" section in my eBay...,the outbid section didn't appear until 5 minutes until the auction was over...I had no means to increase my bid! ARRRRRGH! Guess I'll wait another 5 years until this record pops up again....eBay efffing sucks...dammit'

    I don't think it's an Iphone problem. I bid by phone sometimes as well and it's like a 3 to 5 min delay when bidding. I usually place a bid and if it is something I really want I will do an increase bid. When you do that you're basically bidding twice and it is best to do it during the last minute of bidding.

    It has to be the app..."increase bid" button just disappeared....I couldn't bid again and there was still time...

    I use a Samsung Jack with a Skyfire web browser and I've never had that happen. The only gripe I have is that sometimes I won't get the you have been outbid or be informed that I didn't win an auction until 5 to 7 minutes after an auction's closing.

    Not to be a dick but dude, this is what esnipe exists for, especially for once-every-five-year records.

    (Uh, what record, btw?)

    Leonard Carbo "pigtails& bluejeans" not expensive, but it NEVER pops up nor does it appear on gemm/musicstack. I have it on an LP, but want a 45 for DJing purposes...just frustrated the abilty to bid disappears for a few minutes on the app, doesn't make sense.,,,
